Hockey Night in Canada will not air on the CBC next season.
|
|
|
In a joint statement, Rogers Sportsnet and the CBC say that the public broadcaster will no longer carry NHL broadcasts.
|
|
|
Hockey Night has aired for nearly 75 years on CBC television. A sub-licensing agreement between Rogers Communications and the CBC that allowed the program to air on the network expired at the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
|
|
|
The two sides did not extend the partnership for the 2026-27 campaign, the first year of Rogers’ 12-year, $11-billion broadcast rights deal with the National Hockey League.
|
|
|
The CBC previously aired national games on Saturdays along with all four playoff rounds each year.
